On Creation Sometimes one must sacrifice Their whole world, just to gain a piece Of that otherness, the existence That hides just outside of reach That broken thought becomes the Word That dead messiahs preach That Word becomes the unheard void That metaphysics teach What they seek is not an object Sacrifice the semi-logic Chaos brings random to order To create that crucial conflict Without which, the design fails Crumbles into seeming nonsense Or explodes into something new— Static thought turns into progress What happens when it shatters Do the pieces scatter in the night Creating something not unlike Life, […]

Empty of Heart Empty of heart is he that states That he will but does not Church and state will rebuild The Earth and take what they killed Rebirth a clone of man’s will and Worse claim that it’s real and Works but only until it works Then maybe the cycle will end When the lust to take lose retake And claim dominion fades Maybe something better begins When the greed consumes itself And the sheep seek better ways Instead of simply hoping to see better days But what calls men to action What must be lost before they rise […]

Being Attractive Like the flower at night Underneath moon Shining its own ethereal glow Like the waves pushing Unseen currents to break The beach of my thought Like the sun’s brilliance Eternity begotten on the breath Of a single word Divine symmetrical beauty Genes transcending time Just to outline your shape In those jeans You are attractive Like the thought of death When all is lost and hope Is but a feather, floating Through a void of nothingness You are the strength to grab it And with it, the strength to fly You are the book My feelings authored and […]

The HisStory of He His money bleeds through frozen funds His woman breathes through blackened lungs His son he feeds through paltry sums His rent is due hot water’s gone He tried to do what’s right, was wronged He tried to be polite, was scorned He tried with all his might, lost all He died a death that night, reborn He devised a plan that involved a mark He divides the crime by the time involved He refines details as the day gets dark He confides in none, he redefines resolve He contemplates what he has never done He starts […]

Unfinished Recital The words stopped so suddenly Falling to the ground as if Gravity no longer held The delicate balance Of sound to air He called a gathering of the children Even held one, bawling, in his arms For to give them the blessing of the lord For almost five heartbeats The Silence permeated the air As if those were the last words To ever be spoken He fell to the life giving Earth The gift given/taken back As if the Earth just could no longer Sustain the weight of this one man The proverbial straw All that could be […]

Pickup Lines My thoughts have been murdered, killed by your eyes Flame of lust kindled when I saw you walking by I want to learn your name, and the depths of your mind A crime if you’re kept, leave your ring where it hides You make me feel alive in a way undenied Flower of a woman, I the beach you the tide Cause you splash against my thought and break me down against your grind We can go places and the limit ain’t the sky We can go beyond into the limitless divide Just say the word and I’ll […]

Hot Air Balloons While at play they will often stop To stare in awe, imagining themselves inspired Some pointing, some exclaim, others silent Minds that want to float free On the air they dream To be as solid as the thought of home Unanchored and drifting Precious with the learning They have yet to gain Wonder Of wonders Back to Sentiments of the Cerebral More Poetry by Silencio Barnes More Poetry from the Eternal Figments of Reality Series
